Abstract:
A method of preparing difluoroformals of the formula(RCH.sub.2 O).sub.2 CF.sub.2,wherein R is --C(NO.sub.2).sub.3, --CF(NO.sub.2).sub.2, --CF.sub.2 (NO.su), --C(NO.sub.2).sub.2 CH.sub.3, or a fluoroalkyl group such as --CF.sub.3 or --CF.sub.2 CF.sub.3, by reacting the corresponding dichloroformals with hydrogen fluoride in pyridine. These difluoroformals are useful as energetic explosive and propellant ingredients.
Abstract:
A process for preparing dibromonitro-alcohols, and mixtures thereof with bromonitro-alcohols, is disclosed in which dibromonitromethane, and optionally bromonitroethane, is reacted with a C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 aldehyde in aqueous solution at an acid pH, preferably between about 4.0 and about 7.0. An aqueous solution of the aldehyde is prepared and the pH adjusted to the desired acid range by addition of sodium bicarbonate, and the dibromonitromethane, which may include bromonitromethane, is added thereto. The dibromonitro-alcohol product is isolated as a separate phase from the reaction mixture.

Abstract:
This invention relates to a new process for preparing certain optically active purine substituted cyclopentene derivatives including the antiviral agent, carbovir, and novel intermediates used in this process. In particular, this invention concerns a synthesis of (1R-cis)-4-hydroxymethyl-2-cyclopenten-1-ol, an intermediate in this process.
Abstract:
A relatively fast process for producing HNS from trinitrotoluene (TNT) in high yield consists of oxidizing TNT with an oxidizing transition metal compound within a polar aprotic solvent having a weak base, such as an alkali metal carboxylate, dissolved therein. The amount of transition metal compound used is typically at least one mole per mole of TNT. An especially preferred transition metal compound for use in the present process is cupric chloride.
Abstract:
The displacement of halogen from a 1,2,3-trihalo-4,6-dinitroresorcinol can be carried out in an aqueous medium using alkali metal hydroxide to form 2-halo-4,6,-dinitroresorcinol. The product is a useful intermediate in the synthesis of 4,6-diaminoresorcinol, which is a monomer for polybenzoxazole polymers. The process from part of a useful aqueous process for synthesizing 4,6-diaminoresorcinol.
Abstract:
Preparation of 1,3,5-triamino-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene (TATB) from 3,5-dichloroanisole. Nitration of 3,5-dichloroanisole under relatively mild conditions gave 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trinitroanisole in high yield and purity. Ammonolysis of this latter compound gave the desired TATB. Another route to TATB was through the treatment of the 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trinitroanisole with thionyl chloride and dimethylformamide to yield 1,3,5-trichloro-2,4,6-trinitrobenzene. Ammonolysis of this product produced TATB.
Abstract:
1-Nitroanthraquinone-2-carboxylic acid of the formula I ##STR1## is prepared by treating novel 2-substituted 1-nitroanthraquinones of the general formula II ##STR2## where R is --CH.dbd.CH--R.sup.1 or --CH.sub.2 --CHO, where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 -dialkylamino or a cyclic 5- or 6-membered amine which may contain further hetero atoms, with oxidizing agents free of heavy metal.
